HOW TO STUDY GEOGRAPHY
Objectives:
Use latitude & longitude
Identify different maps
![Page 2: HOW TO STUDY GEOGRAPHY Objectives: Use latitude & longitude Identify different maps](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f585503460f94c7e57d/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
WHAT IS GEOGRAPHY?
Geography is The study of EVERYTHING on Earth
Landforms, people, climates, cultures, etc.
Goal is to better understand: How the Earth is changing How humans influence the
environment and vice versa

USING GEOGRAPHER’S TOOLS
Different Types of Maps:
Physical Maps
Show natural features of the land
Political Maps
Show political boundaries (borders between countries/states)
Thematic Maps
Focus on a specific element of the place
Ex: Climate, population, resources, etc.

USING GEOGRAPHER’S TOOLS
Latitude and Longitude Any place on earth can be
found using coordinates (intersection of latitude and longitude)
L & L are measured in degrees Degrees are about 70
miles apart Minutes are the units in
between degrees

LATITUDE
Lines that run ACROSS the globe Measure distances north and south of the Equator The equator is the 0° line of latitude Lines of latitude run from 0° to 90°

LATITUDE
Two lines of latitude that are very important Tropics – places on the
earth that receive the most heat from the sun.
The Tropic of Cancer at 23½˚ N
The Tropic of Capricorn at 23½˚S

LONGITUDE -Lines of longitude are drawn up and down-Measure places east and west of the Prime Meridian (0° longitude).Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich, EnglandLines of longitude run from 0° to
180°

WRITING LATITUDE & LONGITUDE
Latitude will always have either North or South written before the degreeLongitude will always have either East or West before the degreeLatitude is always written first, then Longitude
